Paramus appears to have made the sharper start. The report says Eric Petrush put the home side ahead inside the opening minutes, giving Old Tappan an immediate problem to solve in its first game of the campaign.
That early goal mattered, but so did the reaction. Old Tappan did not panic. Instead, it stayed in the contest long enough to let its territorial edge show up later, which is often the biggest early-season test for any side still settling into rhythm.
The comeback reportedly arrived in a short, decisive burst. Rinot equalised with Adem Ozgen credited for the setup, and Torrie then scored the winner just 2:46 later after a pass from Mason Panarese.
That sequence says plenty about momentum. One goal changed the feel of the match; the second punished Paramus before it could reset. In a season opener, that kind of response can be as encouraging as the result itself.
The save count helps frame the game. Vlad Dyachuk reportedly made eight saves for Paramus, while Luke Bedoya made four for Old Tappan.
Those totals back up the broader picture: Paramus had moments, especially early, but Old Tappan appears to have asked more questions over the full match. When one goalkeeper is that busy, it usually reflects sustained pressure rather than a single flurry.
Old Tappan will now look to carry the resilience into its next outing, ideally with a quicker start to avoid another chase. For Paramus, the next storyline is clear: turn an early lead into longer control, not just an opening punch.
